Another question...what is the zinc for? What does it do?
You asked how I am doing? Well, real poor. Deep scary depression and constant underlying nervousness/anxiety, weight loss, extreme difficulty in ability to work and stuff. But I plow forward as best I can. Doc just started me on low dose remeron for sleep, anxiety, and munchies.
I tried adrafinil on its own a few weeks ago. It was good on depression, anxiety, and fatigue on the first day, but not much of anything after that. Actually I felt like depession was getting worse, and whatever help it was giving me was a very obsessive restless agitated kind of thing. It does blend nice with other things so I keep it onhand for more trials going forward.

I would rather take provigil , but I have no insurance, so thats an impossibility. i was actually taking provgil ( without the Lithium) for a couple of weeks and was pretty agitated and overfocused, etc. So I laid off for awhile, started the Lithium for a week or so and added back the adrafinil I got in the mail. It just seemed differant adding it with the Lithium.

I really think the neurotrophic factors that help regrow your neurons is what all the things that help have in common. So currently I'm trying to take stuff that I read will help with that ..
